Quarantine!

When it came to safeguarding her family Peg was never one to "wait and see". At your Aunt's request the Bailey's all went to her lab for tests of the scary new pandemic sweeping over the globe. Each of you sat in your own small room in her lab complex waiting to find out if you had it or not. It had been hours since they took the swab from your throat and you were becoming very impatient. You were young and healthy, even if you had the disease you weren't that at risk for anything beyond some flu like symptoms. None of you were showing any symptoms and this all seemed rather over the top. But Peggy explained that if you had you would act as a carrier, exposing many people as you went about your regular daily activities, but that since your family were technically mutants you had to be extra wary as there was no telling how the Bailey mutation might interact with this brand new virus. She seemed particularly concerned with the virus adapting to the family's unique genes, genes she believed to be a powerful new **** in the future of humanity itself. She worried that if the virus adapted to your family and was passed on that it might become even more deadly and virulent than it was now.

And so you sat. Waiting. You texted with the others to help pass the time.

"This is so fucking stupid." Fiona says. "I have things to do."

"Patience Fiona." Your mother replies. "It shouldn't be too much longer."

"Great time to get in some extra fapping." Chloe chimes in. "I'm on 7 nuts and counting! "

And so it went. Yeah, it had been weird since the "big reveal", as it had since become known, but things were settling back into a new normal. While the knowledge that your entire family of women were packing heat and slinging dick with each other was off the charts weird it was also a great relief for everyone not to have to hide things from you anymore. The Bailey's still had a host of issues but the festering secrecy of their bodies and their lifestyle was not longer one of them.

You were still with Allison but things weren't exactly rosy. Your sex life with her was great...for you. But for Allie she always seemed to want more from you. You were a considerate and dutiful lover, always ensuring you got her off however you needed to and yet, despite her assurances, she just seemed...unsatisfied. Recently she had even started floating ideas of threesomes and polyamory and other boundaries you weren't entirely comfortable with.

At long last a text finally comes through from Peg. Your relief is short lived as the content of the message was not good news.

"We have three positive tests." The message states. "Everyone remain calm. Jesse, Elsie, and I have the virus." You could hear your mother let out a frightened exclamation in the room next to yours. The message continued. "The rest of you are clear. Helen, Chloe, and Fiona please leave the lab. Wash your hands now and when you get home. Really wash your hands. Where the face masks we gave you and return home. Clean surfaces. Close Jesse and Elsie's bedroom and do not enter them for awhile. Again, don't panic everyone. Everyone is going to be fine."

Instantly there a slew of texts in the group.

"I LOVE YOU ALL!" Chloe says. "DON'T DIE!!!!!!"

"My babies!" Your mother texts. "Don't worry. Listen to Peggy. Everything is going to be okay." You could sense the natural motherly fear behind her assuring words. Knowing her as you did she was probably barely holding it together, especially since it was her two "babies".

"This is bullshit." Fiona adds. "There's got to be a cure or vaccine or some shit. Peg, you're the miracle worker. Fix this!" Even Fiona was concerned about you.

Like you Elsie remains silent, probably grappling with news just as you were. You knew the percentages. You knew you were probably safe. But knowing now that you actually had it suddenly those numbers weren't nearly so comforting. You felt like you had just pulled the lever on a slot machine and watching the numbers spin, except in this case the jackpot meant ****.

Peg messages again. "Jesse and Elsie please wait in your rooms until the others are gone. You will come to my place where we will self quarantine for the next two or three weeks. Everyone else please leave now. Lucy will clean up the lab once we have left. Everybody remain calm and do what I've asked, we'll get through this."

"Two or three weeks!" You mom exclaims from her room. A text from her soon follows. "I should stay with you guys. I don't care if I get the virus. I need to be there."

"Helen, you are the most at risk among us." Peg responds. While Peg was the older of the sisters your mother was by far the more ****, her weight alone put her into the higher risk category. "Go home. Stay well. We'll be okay."

Fiona, no-nonsense as usual, asks. "What will you need? Food? Supplies? Tell me and I'll get them for you and drop them off."

"No, I'm prepared. The house is stocked." Peg says. "Look after Helen and Chloe."

"I wish we all had it." Chloe says. "We could have a big end of the world orgy."

"It's not the end of the world." Her mother replies. "Now get going you guys."

You could hear rustling in the room next to yours. Your mother says through the wall. "I love you baby boy. I'll be thinking about you."

"Love you too Mom." You call back. "I'll miss you."

There are a slew of texts after that, even as the others left the building and returned home. Expressions of love and concern. These women meant the world to you. And thanks to this you saw plain as day that the feeling was mutual. Even Fiona sends you a few private messages asking if you needed anything.

After a few quiet minutes you hear a light knock on the door before it opens. Peg and Elsie stand there with lab masks on. Peg has one for you too. You stand and put it on and slip your jacket on. The moment you are ready Elsie steps in and slips her arms around you midsection for a hug, you happily pull her into a long strong embrace. El was scared. All of this talk of pandemic and **** rates already had her rattled before she'd even come here. Now that she knew she had it she was even more shook. She rests her head on your chest and really burrows in for a good long hug. You feel her tense shoulders relax as you hold her close. You had been years since El came to you like this and damn did it feel good to hold her like this again. Assuring words were good, but sometimes a simple hug from your big brother could do more than all the words in the world.

You could tell by your aunt's eyes that she was smiling as she waited. "I know it is normal to be scared. Things are new and happening fast. But by all of the data you two have nothing to fear. You are young and healthy. You'll be fine. It will be like a flu probably."

"But the mutation." You say, instantly regretting it as you feel El tense up once more.

Peg nods. "It is an X factor no doubt."

You squeeze Elsie tight. "We'll be fine. Peg's right. We're all healthy and strong."

Your aunt steps forward and places a hand on each of your shoulders. "More likely than not our genes will give us an advantage. But, we should really get going. Lucy would like to clean up and get home herself. Keep the masks on until we get to my place. We don't want to spread it."

Elsie tightens her hug one last time and the pair of you part. As one you turn to your aunt and nod. All together the three of you make your way out of the lab. Peg heads to her Jag and you peel off to take your own car. Elsie follows you. It seemed strange how normal yet not normal things felt now. There weren't crazed looting mobs or military trucks in the streets yet it was quieter than normal and a strange nervous energy filled the air.

You and your sister walk in silence. Each of you wrestling with your own thoughts and worries.

You **** yourself to quell these concerns for the time being. You had two or three weeks in self quarantine to stew over such things. Besides, there wasn't much you could do about anything now. You had the virus and there was nothing that could change that, your main responsibility now was not to spread it.

As you start the engine you look over to your frightened sister. Reaching across you squeeze her small soft hand. She calms and her dark eyes turn to you. "I'm okay." She says. "It's just...this is all so crazy. Ya know?"

"I know." You nod. "But hey, look at the bright side. A few weeks with just us and Peggy. No school. No bully Fiona. No weirdo Mom. No kooky Chloe. Just us and our super cool aunt. This could be fun!"

Her cheeks raise, telling you that she was smiling beneath the mask. "Yeah. I never thought about that." She squeezes your hand back, clearly feeling much better about things.

Seeing your Aunt's Jag pull out of the parking lot you put your car into gear and follow her.
